      insert language is easy to read when you know insert language

      I think part of the problem lies in how cursive directly derived from print letters so shit like S, Z, and r makes you wonder who came up with this.

      When you know the right cursive. We used slightly clearer letter shapes in Australia in the 80s

      Though knowing any cursive makes it easier to decode unfamiliar ones

      Machine coding is also easy to read if you know binary

      Good thing it is the 21st century where those things aren’t needed anymore

      Exactly. Randall Munroe turns 40 before the end of this year.

      Scraping the bottom of the barrel, I guess?

      Edit: In the 80s, children were seriously evaluated for learning disabilty if they could not read cursive, as it was considered a developmental necessity. They didn’t joke around with this back then.
